and that you're crushing economic freedom with taxes, regulations and high-cost health care. >> obama: well, it's a lot of rhetoric, but there aren't a lot of facts supporting it. taxes are lower on families than they've been probably in the last 50 years, so i haven't raised taxes. i've cut taxes for middle-class families by an average of $3,600 per typical family. when it comes to regulations, i've issued fewer regulations than my predecessor, george bush, did during that same period in office. so it's kind of hard to argue that we've overregulated. now, i don't make any apologies for putting in place regulations to make sure banks don't make reckless bets and then expect taxpayers to bail them out. i don't make any apologies for regulating insurance companies so that they can't drop a family's coverage just when somebody in their family needs it most. and, you know, the problem that governor romney has is that he seems to only have one note-- tax cuts for the wealthy-- and rolling back regulations as a recipe for success. well, we tried that vigorously between 2001 and 2008, and it
